90-752, The Rise of the Asian Economies
12 units
Prerequisites: None
Delivery Format: On-Campus
Description: For most of the past quarter century, no region of the world has been more economically dynamic than Asia. This course is designed to provide students with the essential knowledge necessary to evaluate opportunities and risks in Asia. The course will use analytical tools drawn from several fields of economics and finance, business cases, and guest lectures by expert practitioners to focus on the key strengths that sustained economic growth in Asia for decades, the weaknesses that undermined that growth in the late 1990s, and what lies ahead. Considerable attention will be paid to recent developments in India and China and the prospects for continued growth in these economies over the next decade.
